Description: Queensland Australian Academic Press, 2019. 1st ed. Paperback large octavo, very good condition, figures, tables, questions, minor edgewear. 256 pp. The two authors argue our need to always feel comfortable, if not happy, has taken away our chances of achieving excellence in our own lives. Taking an evidence-based approach, they examine research findings from psychology, anthropology, and biology while also looking at religion and philosophy to identify six virtues which are foundations to our humanity. These virtues orientate each of us to our best-lived life: Courage, diligence, wisdom, honour, justice, and kindness. ISBN: 9781925644142
